The group travelling together to perform Hajj

Q 3: I am thirty-three years old and I would like to accompany my aged father to perform Hajj. He does not know how to read or write. I am also ignorant of many rulings related to Hajj. What do you advise me to do?

A: We advise you to accompany a group of righteous people to travel with, who can assist you in doing good and warn you against doing evil. We also advise you to have Taqwa (fear/wariness of offending Allah) while performing Hajj and in all your affairs. You should avoid lying, bad language, sins and ill manners. You should also try to understand well the rulings pertaining to Hajj by reading the books of trusted and reliable scholars.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
